Shut her, shut her down. "If I knew where the good songs came from, I'd go there more often." Leonard Cohen

Two thumbs up The bumper sticker said "I'm a veterinarian, therefore I can drive like an animal". Suddenly I realized how many proctologists are on the road. 64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing? BiaB 2025 \| Windows 11 \| Reaper \| Way too many VSTis.

It's nice and funny how you ended the song with that guitar. Your vocals are very good, although I had to get used you sing in a slow, lazy way with prolonged vowel sounds. Mostly downwards. It's a style I know, but I like to hear some 'hope' if you know what I mean. Hans Hans Berkhout (Birchwood) https://soundcloud.com/user-296497130
